I have psoriasis. What treatment options are available for it?
Treatment for psoriasis depends on its severity and type. Mild cases are often managed with topical treatments, such as vitamin D analogues, steroid creams, and coal tar preparations, to reduce inflammation and scaling. Moderate to severe psoriasis may require phototherapy, oral medications, or biologic injections prescribed by a dermatologist. Lifestyle measures, such as managing stress, avoiding triggers, and keeping the skin moisturised, can also help control symptoms.
